Immune system activation begins a host of physiological responses. Infectious agents are recognized by monocytes and macrophages which in turn stimulate cytokine production. It is the hormone-like factors called cytokines that orchestrate the immune response. The classic responses observed with immune system activation and cytokine production include： anorexia, fever, lethargy, recruitment of other immune cells, and phagocytosis. While production of immune system components is known to require some amino acids, increases in amino acid requirements are more than offset by the associated decrease in protein accretion and increased muscle protein degradation that also accompanies immune system activation. However, the biggest impact of cytokine production is a decrease in feed intake. Therefore, as feed intake decreases, the energy needed to drive protein synthesis is also decreased. This suggests that diets should still be formulated on a similar calorie：lysine ratio as those formulated for non-immune challenged pigs. The evidence is sparse or equivocal for increasing nutrient requirements during an immune challenge. Nutritionists and swine producers should resist the pressure to alter the diet, limit feed, or add expensive feed additives during an immune challenge. While immune stimulation does not necessitate changes in diet formulation, when pigs are challenged with non-pathogenic diarrhea there are potential advantages on gut health with the increased use of crystalline amino acids rather than intact protein sources （i.e., soybean meal）. This is because reducing crude protein decreases the quantity of fermentable protein entering the large intestine, which lowers post weaning diarrhea. It also lowers the requirement for expensive specialty protein sources or other protein sources such as soybean meal that present immunological challenges to the gut. The objective of this review is two-fold. The first is to discuss immunity by nutrition interactions, or lack thereo

Sperm dysfunction is the single most common cause of infertility, yet what is remarkable is that, there is no drug a man can take or add to his spermatozoa in vitroto improve fertility. One reason for the lack of progress in this area is that our understanding of the cellular and molecular workings of the mature spermatazoon is limited. However, over the last few years there has been considerable progress in our knowledge base and in addressing new methods to diagnose sperm dysfunction. We review the current state of the field and provide insights for further development. We conclude that：（i） there is little to be gained from more studies identifying/categorizing various populations of men using a basic semen assessment, where an effort is required in making sure the analysis is performed in an appropriate high quality way; （ii） technological development is likely to bring the reality of sperm function testing closer to implementation into the clinical pathways. In doing this, these assays must be robust, cheap （or more appropriately termed cost effective）, easy to use and clinically useful; and （iii） clinical necessity, e.g., the need to identify the highest quality spermatozoon for injection is driving basic research forward. This is an exciting time to be an andrologist and, likely, a fruitful one.

Background Heme-oxygenase 1 （HO-1） is a rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of heme to bilirubin, ferritin and carbon monoxide （CO） and may have significant anti-inflammatory function. The HO-1 gene promoter region shows microsatellite polymorphism with different （GT）n repeats, reported to differently induce gene expression, with the short allele associated with higher gene expression. We measured the acute inflammatory response using coronary artery bypass surgery （CABG） as a well-characterized and uniform stimulus and examined the correlation between levels of IL-6, C-reactive protein （CRP） and fibrinogen and their relationship to HO-1 genotype. Methods Two hundred and seventy-five consecutive patients undergoing CABG were genotyped for the HO-1 promoter polymorphism using PCR and automated DNA capillary sequencer. IL-6, CRP and fibrinogen were measured at baseline and 6, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after CABG. Results Complete IL-6, CRP and fibrinogen measures were available in 220 patients. Before surgery IL-6 levels showed a strong correlation with CRP and fibrinogen （ r = 0. 48, P 〈 0. 0001 ; r = 0. 41, P 〈 0. 0001 respectively）, with a significant correlation between CRP and fibrinogen （r=0. 61, P 〈 0. 0001 ）. All three acute phase reactants showed a significant increase after CABG. After surgery, peak IL-6 was strongly correlated with peak CRP （r=0. 34, P =0.0009） but not with peak fibrinogen （r=0. 15, P =0. 13 ）, while peak CRP and peak fibrinogen were significantly correlated （r = 0. 15, P 〈 0. 0001 ）. HO-1 allelic repeats ranged from 22- 42, with （GT）25 and （GT）32 being the two most common alleles, and subsequently divided into three groups according to previous published work：〈 30 （GT） n were designated as S （short） , 30 - 37 （GT） n as M （middle） and long repeats with 〉 37 （GT） n as L （long） ; allele frequency 0. 35, 0. 58 and 0.07 respectively. Baseline CRP differed by genotype： those carrying at least one long allele having higher CRP than those

The use of single-layer MoS2 in light emitting devices requires innovative methods to enhance its low photoluminescence （PL） quantum yield. In this work, we report that single-layer MoS2 with a strong PL can be prepared by oxidizing bilayer MoS2 using W-ozone oxidation. We show that as compared to mechanically-exfoliated single-layer MoS2, the PL intensity of the single-layer MoS2 prepared by W-ozone oxidation is enhanced by 20-30 times. We demonstrate that the PL intensity of both neutral excitons and trions （charged excitons） can be greatly enhanced in the oxidized MoS2 samples. These results provide novel insights into the PL enhancement of single-layer MoS2.
